This will be (relatively) short. A call this morning that The Marathon Draws are scheduled for Wed-Thurs. It's gonna try my patience w/accessories such as needles and catheters. They follow me for 24 hours to see how the meds absorb into my system.

I'm only "tied down" so to speak for four hours, then incremental draws into Wed evening. Something like half a dozen total. Last draw Thurs morning.

Just for you Pero! Butterfly installed @ 0745, first draw @0800, a little Starbucks brekkie (included), and draws every 15 mins for now.

These things aren't too bad. I could hear my arteries clogging as I ate it.

Only annoying thing is the water injection (cold) after every draw. At least they could inject something carbonated like Diet Coke (bubbles tickle). Seems I may be stuck here until 1600, then back at 2000.

What a lovely morning (at least here in the States). The draws are now down to hourly - kinda lost count how many - I have the lappy, even had a li'l nap, comfortable recliner...and no leaks from the butterfly stent!

imo, this is far more interesting than white or black smoke...though they offered me a priest. You can imagine MY answer.

One more draw in a few, then a two-hour break (goin' fer groceries...with the stent!), another draw, a four-hour break, evening draw, then one in the morning. Nice to know I'm wanted for SOMETHING...tho' blood wasn't quite what I had in mind.
